"I have had the Fender Telecaster I play with Sturgill for almost ten years. It’s a beat up ’74. When I got it, it was in really bad shape; the frets were out of it. My father found it for me and put the frets back in. "

"I have been using Fender amps. When I first got here, I was using a late ’60s silverface Champ. We used that for at least half the record. If you want a really big sound in the studio, use a really small amplifier."

"When we were playing somewhere in Mississippi, a sound engineer saw me using the Champ and told me about the Musicmaster Bass amp, which is also fairly small. It has 6V6 tubes and a 12" speaker. It’s 12 watts, with just volume and tone. They were meant to be practice amps for bass players. "

"I have a T.C. Electronic Hall of Fame reverb; a Destination Rotation by Option 5, which is a Leslie-style pedal; a CMAT Mods phaser; and a Zvex Distortron, which I use to just to boost the signal a bit. The ZVex is a great pedal because it doesn’t cut the low end. It works well for high or low gain."

"Got myself two new toys. Many thanks to Nick Greer from Greer amps! "The Lightspeed" on down left, which I use as a clean boost. It's a really organic and good sounding overdrive which slightly boosts the mids. Really useful if you need to cut through the mix. "Arbuckle tremolo" on down right is by far the best round and warm tremolo pedals I've ever come across. Nick is a good man with a pair of great ears!"
